[ntfclad]

So does anyone have any knowledge on why Tom Barkhauzen (idk how you spell it) didn’t materialise

One things for sure, the wage bill must have come down since December….

Lintott
Waghorn
Fox
Dibley Dias

All out

[DavCobb]

Pity the guy from Derby didn’t sign. Goal shy and injury prone, would have fitted right in.

Struggling to see the logical thinking with this one.

Went fishing for a 31 year old experienced striker, caught a 20 year old defensive midfielder without a professional game to his name.

Surely there were a couple more attacking options available!!?

[Shoemaker]

That’s not happening then 

[TPFKA Marvo]

Get back to me if we go down.
Let’s not polish turds
We needed pace
We needed a goalscorer
According to KN we needed a spine.
We’ve signed a striker whose scored six goals in eighty games and a young lad whose never played league football
Not what’s required in a relegation battle.
Oh and by all accounts we had a permanent signing lined up but couldn’t afford it.
No one’s convincing me that we can compete at this level.

We ARE competing at this level. Last season and this, remember we are NOT in the relegation zone at this point, actually 5pts clear. In our last three games we've drawn at the club second in the division and beaten another promotion side that have done what you want and spent lots of money. Fat lot of good that did them. We've a real good chance of making it to three seasons at this level and from there, who knows.

So sad the owners weren’t willing to back Nolan, hope it doesn’t come back to bite us.

🥱

I do wonder what promises were given to him when he decided to take the job on.

Attacking midfield player according to Jake Sharpe.

Jesus f***ing Christ, how many strikers have we brought to this club in the last decade and how many have been a success?

When did we last bring a striker in that scored 20 goals in a season for us?

You lot have such short memories.

Well he was sure that if there was a player he said he needed then the board would back him…,
Welcome to the cobblers Kevin.

You lot have such short memories.

So we should stop trying?

Not sure on the logic there

Good strikers cost money.
There was an interesting interview on sky sports with darragh mcAnthony today
He explained how you make a profit at a lower league club and how you never sign young players on loan especially strikers as they are of no long term benefit.
Try and catch it if you can it was really insightful

[DavCobb]

It is funny how some complain we didn’t splash some more cash for a striker, who you can guarantee would have slated him before a ball was kicked.

That’s a decent window for us. Certainly a strong enough squad to keep us out of the bottom four.

[tcobb]

Shoemaker, you've gone on and on about paying money for a striker, then when the Club don't you moan about it not happening,  it was only happening in your own head , nowhere else, do you like winding yourself up 

[Observing]

Shoey go and have a beer.

[cobbler151]

Taylor
Shaw
Dara

Look good signings

Who knows about Perry, I can't understand why people are moaning though. I'm sure Leonard hadn't played a league game and people alluded to Bowie only having played at a poor level when he signed.

Few more back fit, should just have enough.

[TPFKA Marvo]

Not sure on the logic there

I'm just pointing out that the club have signed strikers before, some big names, Leon Constantine, Danny Hylton, Shaun Harrod, Paul Wilkinson, the list is f***ing endless yet none of them proved to be a success. You lot think that if we signed somebody, anybody, that happened to be tagged a striker then suddenly everything in the garden would be rosy. It's nonsense, the odds are it would be yet another failure.

I trust Nolan, far more than I ever trusted Brady. I'm sure he had targets but if a) They didn't want to come, b) their demands were too high or c) Their club demanded too high a transfer, then that's that. So be it. We're good enough to stay up with what we have and so what if a striker had come in and bagged a few goals. What's the difference between finishing 16th & 20th? We'd still be in this division next season.

He could have kept Wilson company.
